Brilliant letter from Stuart Thompson to Jeremy Clarkson about his comments that benefit claimants should write weekly thank you letters to tax payers detailing how they spend their benefits each week.

#TheYearInReform Look, it's very simple. Nothing to see here. Move along. Reform UK is a party - sorry - a company built around British Patriotism and being frank with the public, and it is led by straight-talking anti-elite Nigel Farage.
On the Northern Line from ctl London while both Piccadilly & Central lines are down & could not support this more.
Is “pragmatic” the new, “grown up” word? Andy, there’s nothing “pragmatic” about drilling for more oil & gas - to even consider it with the planet literally on fire is total madness. How many times must we say it will do nothing for energy bills or security? It would be an act of utter recklessness
Excellent point about BBC's Burnham interview
Robert SaundersIt's noticeable, too, that there wasn't a single question on the climate, at a time when Europe is experiencing catastrophic wild-fires & record-breaking heat. It's astonishing how low down the political agenda this remains in Britain, when all the environmental indicators are signalling disaster.
This sounds like Dan has been at the ket, but read to the end - he's describing adult social care. This system ate every penny my parents had, and their home. Meanwhile my auntie - pretty much the same age and circumstances - paid nothing. It's chaos. I don't have any answer. But somebody must.
Dan NeidleI have a modest proposal for a new tax. It involves a deck of cards and a monkey throwing darts. Here are the rules:
I haven’t made it down this morning but there are dozens of folk on Tynemouth Longsands, clearing some of the billion nurdles bit by bit. Still time to pop down this morning, or between 4 and 8 this afternoon/evening after the next high tide. All info here: nurdle-hub-ne.vercel.app/announcements
Alison StenningThe plan is for a big volunteer nurdle effort tomorrow and Tuesday, after both high tides. So from 6 in the morning to start on Tynemouth Longsands.

Under a Binface government, anyone who doesn’t accept human-made climate change as fact will be sent back to school, from Year 1 right the way to A Levels, to see if anything goes in the second time round. #VoteBinface
Holiday in the climate emergency. No that’s not AI or edited, just a snapshot I just took with my phone on Lacanau beach in France. What future will this boy grow up in? It is in our hands, but time is running out.
“Andy Burnham will stick to Labour’s contentious ban on new exploration licences in the North Sea, dashing oil and gas industry hopes for a radical change in government policy towards fossil fuels.” #ClimateCrisis #ClimateAction archive.ph/2026.07.19-2...

So ex-grouse moor manager Robert Frewen, who’s since blocked me, is claiming that moorland drainage had nothing to do with grouse. That’s codswallop. For decades, grouse moor owners were advised to drain their moors to boost grouse & heather, & did so. From my book The Lie of the Land:
True. It is quite shocking how this PR-friendly term for racist expulsions is seeping into "acceptable" use in the media
Martin CalladineImportant to object to and correct every single use of "remigration." The word is a euphemism designed to make respectable its users' project, which is ethnic cleansing.
Can everybody who sees this and is considering bringing a dog into their family please consider the importance of dog shelters and the thousands of beautiful, gentle and intelligent dogs currently needing loving homes. Please don’t perpetuate the cruel breeding industry by buying a ‘pedigree’ dog.
This is a Public Right of Way on the East Sussex side of Romney Marsh. Many of the footpaths on the marsh are impassable. If we care about it's landscape and it's value to locals and visitors, we need to shout about this. #PublicRightsofWay @eastsussexcc.bsky.social TQ 95148 22241 #RomneyMarsh
